Igualdad / Equality: What It Means and Why It Matters
Dos de los pensadores más influyentes de la actualidad reflexionan en este fascinante diálogo sobre el valor de la igualdad en todos los ámbitos. Thomas Piketty y Michael J. Sandel abordan aquí temas que abarcan la economía, la filosofía y la historia, y valoran cuánto hemos avanzado en la lucha por lograr una mayor igualdad entre las personas de todo el mundo. Al mismo tiempo, afrontan las profundas divisiones que aún persisten a causa de la desigual riqueza, el mal uso del poder y el deseo de estatus y muestran tanto sus acuerdos como sus discrepancias. Este diálogo nos permite vislumbrar nuevas posibilidades para el cambio y la justicia sociales, pero también es un recordatorio de que el lento progreso hacia una mayor igualdad para todos nunca llega sin un profundo conflicto social y la lucha política.

Release Date: 2017-05-11
This volume brings together experienced Professors and PhD researchers from all over Europe to summarise the crucial dilemmas that the European Union has to confront during its current multilevel crisis. The chapters are organized into four parts. The first section deals with constitutional issues of the EU, namely multilevel democratic governance, gender equality, and participatory democracy, and the impact of the crisis on them. The second analyses public governance issues, with reference to urban planning as a new policy for the EU, state aid and privatization of public companies, corporate governance principles for public companies, and EU case law on freedom of establishment of companies. The third part discusses certain issues of the EU internal market and external trade, namely the Europeanisation of labour relations, the relation between EU environmental law and international agreements, the dilemma between regionalism and multilateralism in international trade law, and the Eurasian Economic Union. The fourth section explores the Eurozone crisis from different perspectives and areas, namely political philosophy, economics, political science, administrative science, and law.
Women’s Rights to Social Security and Social Protection

Release Date: 2014-10-23
This collection examines the human rights to social security and social protection from a women's rights perspective. The contributors stress the need to address women's poverty and exclusion within a human rights framework that takes account of gender. The chapters unpack the rights to social security and protection and their relationship to human rights principles such as gender equality, participation and dignity. Alongside conceptual insights across the field of women's social security rights, the collection analyses recent developments in international law and in a range of national settings. It considers the ILO's Social Protection Floors Recommendation and the work of UN treaty bodies. It explores the different approaches to expansion of social protection in developing countries (China, Chile and Bolivia). It also discusses conditionality in cash transfer programmes, a central debate in social policy and development, through a gender lens. Contributors consider the position of poor women, particularly single mothers, in developed countries (Australia, Canada, the United States, Ireland and Spain) facing the damaging consequences of welfare cuts. The collection engages with shifts in global discourse on the role of social policy and the way in which ideas of crisis and austerity have been used to undermine rights with harsh impacts on women.
